Frequently Asked Questions

Android is not currently supported. If you are looking for a mobile wallet, check out LoafWallet, Jaxx or Coinomi.

Does Electrum Pivx Wallet support Segwit?

Yes.

What is a “seed”?

Electrum Pivx Wallet uses a 128-bit random seed to generate your private keys.
The seed can be represented as a 12-word mnemonic code.
You do not need to perform regular backups, because your wallet can be
recovered from the seed that you can memorize or write on paper.

What should I do with my old Pivx addresses and wallet when switching to Electrum Pivx Wallet?

The best way to switch to Electrum Pivx Wallet is to send all the Pivxs
you have on your old wallet to one of the addresses on your Electrum Pivx Wallet.
This way you'll have all your Pivxs secured with your seed.
Older versions of Electrum Pivx Wallet could import private keys from another client,
but then you had to backup those keys separately,
as they could not be restored by the Electrum Pivx Wallet seed.

What does it mean to “freeze” an address?

When you freeze an address, the funds in that address will not be
used for sending Pivxs.
You cannot send Pivxs if you don't have enough funds in non-frozen addresses.

Where is my wallet file located?

A default wallet file called default_wallet is created
under the /wallets folder when you first run the application.
On Windows, this folder is located in \Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Local\Electrum Pivx Wallet.
On all other operating systems, it is located in ~/.Electrum Pivx Wallet.

What is the gap limit?

The gap limit is the maximum number of consecutive unused addresses
in your deterministic sequence of addresses.
Electrum Pivx Wallet uses a gap limit to stop looking for addresses.
This is set to 5 by default, so the client generates new addresses
until 5 unused addresses are found.
